I need to start by saying, I am not a dog person. I love to visit people with dogs, but owning one...well, that's questionable. However, reading this books makes me want a dog. Is there any animal other than a dog that is so full of love, excitment, and loyalty? While listening to the dog's thoughts, reading about their hijinks, and seeing how they find their way in life is making me laugh, cry, and want to play with a dog. For dog and non-dog lovers out there, this book has it all. I am only half way, but am loving the different dogs he becomes each time his current life ends. The people around him leave their mark and this pup is filling my heart with love.
